I cannot locate DVD 51050526 on OSS/SMP. Is that number still correct?
This is what you need to use :
Thanks Yogesh. One more question. Is there some "trick" to entering more than one DVD mount point in the SUM screen? The SUM 1.0 SP16 guide indicates that entering more than one is possible, but the SUM screen does not seem to allow entry of more than one, even though there are multiple lines available on the screen.
If you give me screenshot I might able to help
-Yogesh
I dont think you can add additional lines but you can try manually typing in to empty lines there and see.
-Yogesh
Yes, that is the actual problem, it is not possible to type anything into any of the fields of the already provided additional lines. I tried to enter the DVD Type, Description, and the Mount Point, but nothing can be entered into those fields, even though they appear to be open for entry.
I call it SAP way... 🙂
Thanks for th document Yogesh.
I will try to upgrade one of our customer's SM 7.1 SP12.
I think your documents will help me.

Yuksel AKCINAR

Hi Yogesh
When you generate the xml stack file. Will that also include the Java Dvds 51050949 ?
I am getting the following Error in the SUM tool during Java config An error occured during the execution of Create stack from stack file of action configure.
Service com.sap.sdt.jspm.service.specifyqueue.SpecifyQueueService failed with the following message

Hello Yogesh Patel,
We are planning to upgrade SolMan 7.1 to 7.2
I have a doubt, as we are keeping the DB (oracle) as it is. Is TREX installation mandatory for that.
Also, what would happen if we do not install TREX?
-regards,
Nitin Soni
Hello Nitin,
I am not too sure about your system configuration.
But as far I know you can upgrade TREX.
Question you need to ask is - What will happen to Indexes created by TREX?
Thanks
Yogesh
Hi Yogesh,
Any idea what could be the possible solution of below error.I got during execution phase of SOLMAN 7.2 upgrade...
Severe error(s) occurred in phase MAIN_PROFSTART/SUBMOD_PROFSTART1/MODPROF_V2BACKUP!
Last error code set:
File '/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/NO_INFO' does not exist: No such file or directory
Thanks,
Akki
Hello Akki,
This is SUM error. Can you please check that path exist?
-Yogesh
Hi ,
We have similar issue in the same phase. Have you found solution for this issue ? If yes, can you please share what you did to fix the issue ?
Thanks
Vamsi
Hi Yogesh,
We have encountered the same issue. Can you please let us know the fix. SUM SP19 we have used.
Thanks,
Urvi
Hello Urvi,
Did you looked in to sap notes? Please search this error in SAP notes
-Yogesh
I ran into the same error about a missing “NO_INFO” file, during an EHP8 upgrade on ERP, using SUM SP19 PL4. Note 2314382 talks about this error, but the resolution did not resolve my error. Since the error is referring to a non critical file that is missing, I simply created an empty “NO_INFO” file in the profile directory, and then repeated the failed step.
My EHP8 upgrade process is still active currently, so I cannot confirm that this work-around did not cause other issues, but the SUM process has proceeded on through several other steps, so I am hopeful that the issue has been bypassed. The note below may help others with a similar error, however.

Russel Robbins
Did you finally manage to complete SUM with work around?
Hello,
As mentioned below by Russel this SAP notes will help you to resolve issue.
2314382 - SUM stops in Phase PREP_INPUT/INSTANCELIST_PRE with error File '/profile/NO_INFO' does not exist: No such file or directory
Thank you
Yep i have seen it, it did not help, as it mentioned by Russel ;). I mean much probably there was an issue with initial distributed installation….
In case somebody get the same error.
I created the file with touch command (the same like Russel did), upgrade successfully finished, with no issues, only satellite ABAP application servers kernel was not updated, so I did it manually later on.
Will be good to know what exactly is executed on this phase.
I guess sapcpe binaries copy should be executed on this step.
Hello,
I had the same error in upgrade-phase
“MAIN_PROFSTART/SUBMOD_PROFSTART1/MODPROF_V2BACKUP”
I solved removing duplicate profile files on the main profile directory and local ERS profile directory for HA system.

Hello Yogesh,
At which point of the upgrade should the SPAU adjustments be performed once SUM finishes: before or after the dual-stack split?
Thank you,
Delia
Its up to you. Both way its ok.
-Yogesh
Hi Yogesh
Concerning
SAP note: 2227300
we don't have the remove option in the list, only revert or deploy (during the phase Build Component) how can we have this option ?
Thanks in advance
Géraldine
I am still not able to understand your question!
Hi Yogesh,
I have added the BI_MMR component in the queue to update to sp19 and I am facing issues in Deploy Shadow instance phase and looks like the issue is due to this package and wondering whether I can remove the package from the queue without reverting the SUM and start over again.
Thanks
Hari
I don't think that is possible.
